Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why is ego the biggest obstacle on the spiritual path?
Ego blocks God-realisation
Attachment to family and money fade slowly, but ego is the biggest matter, and until ego dissolves, God-realisation does not happen. The biggest obstacle is deh-abhiman, the pride of identifying with the body.
Until this ego dissolves, God-realisation does not happen. So the biggest obstacle to realising Bhagwan is deh-abhiman, identification with the body.
